CRACKERS AND BURGLARS TIED FOR SECOND PLAQ F ox CLIMBS ' ROUAJ O TO .SE C.O/VO ON! A NICE SCENES AND INCIDENTS FORM THE FIRST GAME WEDNESDAY AND ONE 8TAR HAPPENING OF THE LAST. Tied with Memphis at last. After nearly a month of hard fighting the Crackers reached the coveted' sec ond place Wednesday afternoon, though just at present that berth Is occupied In company with the hated Burglars. From now on It as case of "war to the bat and bat to the handle"—and then some between the two teams. Each tearA now has 77 games won and 55 lost. If the Crackers win more from the New Orleans team than Memphis can from Mullaney’s pets over In Mont- f ornery, then second place and some 66 to a player goes to the Atlanta men. If the reverse happens, then down go the Crackers to third place. The last three days of the league season will see the light fought out from first base to home plate, and times will be stirring. Orleans team will do Us best to the Crackers from staying | n «;!!! place There Is no^ large* H love lost between the players oath two teams and less between the r.,? agers. These games are the p,.|| lust chanc to get revenge, and doiST less they will try to take it. ubu The trackers are playing with nervs skill and luck well combined days, though, and are hard to beat ' If Mullaney can be counted on t. force his team to the limit aeal,,.?

But the Montgomery bunch Is nr,VZ far down In the league race, and it a doubtful If the Legislators will ext.Jl themselves to the limit against such , hunch of hustlers as those Burglar!

Billy Smith Is ready for the trip he Is going to take when the season closes. He will scout through the Central League for new* timber to try out next season. Just whnt this trip will amount to will ta later. Billy hns hts eye on something and is sawing wood slid saying nothing. He Is out after new pitchers, n couple of litdelders, a catcher, nnd most likely t heavy hitting outfielder. As Archer hss been drafted, no other At lantn player la In danger of going to the majors this season. When the gong sounds for practice next spring, Atlanta will have some new timber to try out. Kid Smith, who hns taen showing great fonn since he was replaced behind the pan, will probably he seen In the same po sition next season. Nothing need l»e sab! nlMint ••Steeple” Jim, for he will most surely lie on first. Jordan will hover on second, {and probably Morse will lie at short. Win ters will surely la* seen lu right field, for It ran safely ta said that he Is ns good an all-round player as is In the Southern league today. If Bobby Wallace keeps on hitting the ball he will be seen In center gnrdeu, for Bobby Is n fielder from awny bpek. There Is a lot of talk that Crosier will not Ik» seen In an Atlanta uniform next year, but from the way things took he will report to Billy Smith in the spring. Nothing has been said of a third baseman, which Billy has been In need of all the year, lloffiuati has been playing great tall since rejoining the tenm. It seems that be Is In n habit of doing very unexpected things these days. ' Now, tor the pitchers. If Billy can land another Tom Hughes nnd a second “Ilube” Zeller wp will l* satisfied. Hut pitchers like these two do not bang around doing noth ing. Hughes nml Zeller have done the bulk of the pitching this season, nnd If Atlanta had had another one like Hughes Birming ham would apt have had the |»eunn!it cinch ed. ••Rube” will likely wear nu Atlanta uniform next spring. With any kind of lnck next year and a bunch of good players Billy will show Dad Vaughan and Charley XJnbb what he would have done this season tfffh good luck. DAVIDSON MEN HARD AT WORK Special to The Georgian. Much hns been said and written nbont the effect of the new football rules on the college game nnd very little ataut Its effect on the prep school gnrne. While the youngsters play under the same rules ns their older brothers, yet the game they put up differs lu many respects. The Georgian, therefore, asked Frank J. Blake, the most successful prep school conch in the entire South, for his views on the new rules, and they are given below. By FRAnITj. BLAKE. I am at a loss Just whnt to say In re gard to the new rules. im afraid my oplniou, ns comjinred with the more expert authorities of Atlanta and the vicinity, on the new rules, would he ot little value to you or the publlt, a nd« I would really prefer to keep out of the limelight of publicity as far as prac ticable. As to the rules, I fall to see the neces sity of such radical changes so far ns the game ns played In the Sonth and West Jnst season, is concerned. True, In the east matters were iu a and plight, but judg ing from the success of the western and southern' teams, I should sny the fault in the east was due to the players nnd not to the rules of the game ns played fn 1906. As to whnt will l»c the result or effect ot the changes, that can ta told only nf*er they have been thoroughly tested in pb»y. I am afraid the offense hns been too severely handicapped by the 10-ynrd rule. It would have been much more conserva tive to have allowed, nt least, four downs, Instead of three, for the necessary 10 yards. By thus handicapping the offense, I should think that the roughness of the cum*, \ t that the determination to gain in i* creased, will be proportionately cn However, I'thlnk there will be fc talltles under the new rules, but the brok« limbs will be more numerous than ever In the history of the game. Every football players knows It la mort dangerous to make a flying tackle or to 1* thus tackled than It Is to be tackled |g the line, nnd ns the rules, are ho co& structed ns to Increase the open field play, so will the Injuries due to such piny brought to a maximum. The forward pnss. a very radical chnntu, while It greatly aids the offense, will alw prove dangerous to the runner. The rule specifies that the ball shall be cleanly hnn- died, and In order to do so, a player will,' while on n dead run down the field, be looking back to receive the ball, and while In this position may be suddenly tackled by an opponent. The outside kick Is a good one, nnd It Intended to assist the offense nnd nt tbt same time weaken the defense by keeping an extra man In the back field to take care of these punts. The rule prohibiting any ot the /Ire center men from being drawn buck of the line, unless they are, nt leant, $■■ back (nnd then one of the hacks must take his place In the line), will have very strong effect on the offense. Hardly n play wns made Inst year but that of these menwns drawn from Ids position and used very effectively, either li rylng the hall or In the Interference. Shunned up ns a whole, It seems to that the weak teams have been mm weaker nnd put more at the mercy of strong ones, the very thing which committee wns trying to obviate. The balance of the changes are of mb Importance, and will not greatly effect play. O y Brien Will Fight Burns 40-Round Bout For $20,000 By W. W. NAUGHTON. Kan Francisco, Cal., Kept. 13.—Heavy- eight Jack O’Brien will not be on the steamer Sierra tomorrow when she sails for the Orient. He hns postponed Ids trip because he has been matched with Tommy Burns for a contest of forty rounds and a purse of $20,000. The affair will take place at Arcadln, near Los An geles, and the prise money will he fur nished by the Arcadia Athletic Club, of which “Lucky” Baldwin Is a prominent member. O'Brien hml waited all day for some news from Sam Berger, who had promised to fight him if he postponed his trip to Australia. A few days ago, Kddle Oraney offered a purse of $15,000 for the Berger- O’Brien match. Jack Gleason said that ihe amount wns not large enough, hut O'Brien had hoped that Berger would be Induced to accept It. Grnne.v kept the wires hot today telegraphing Berger, who Is In the east, but received no answer. At 9 o’clock last night, O'Brien bad hit mind made to go to Australia. When O’Brien received news of the Ar cadia offer, he said: “That settles It. The match with Squires can stand over. I will stay now, even If the go with Burns hnne* for n few days. When he Is so anxious meet me, and the Arcadians are so willlm to hang up a $20,000 purse, something come of It. Burns, I understand, Iihh up $1,000 with The Los Angeles Kxiimlm will cover Bums’ forfeit, and the mat* Is on. As to the division of the 'purse, will leave that to Burns, with the und« standing thnt the winner receives than 75 per cent. If he wishes, tight on a winner take all basis.” The terms were wired to Los Ang« and within an hour news was received the Arendtn Club would post n cert check for $20,000 with The Los Angeles a miner. The promoters will leave tin lootion of the date to the pugilists, O'Brien stipulates that »ae contest tak place within the next two months. terms Imposed by the club are tfc the articles will provide tor forty if necessary, nnd that the contest must for the heavyweight championship brawny fellows from which to select the team.
